    It has been a year, so I am going to recreate my first poll I made on SP. Which of our Mods and Admins have the best senses of humour? (One Year Later)

    Now, we all know that our great Moderators and Administrators (i.e., Taluntain, Blackthorne TA and Beren) not only protect us from potentially offensive postings, but they also contribute some pretty funny things themsleves. My repeat poll (pointless as it may be) is to determine who the people think is the best at comedy. One difference from last year, there is only the choice between current mods and admins.

    To recap from last year: Out of a total of 93 votes, Taluntain won with a wopping 43 votes (46%); BTA was a close second with 35 votes (38%); Others from the past pulled up a distant third with 11 votes (12%); and Beren came in dead last with a pitiful 4 votes (4%). Hopefuly this time Beren might get a little more credit since he has been in the saddle a little longer.

    Poll Information
    This poll contains 1 question(s). 56 user(s) have voted.
    You may not view the results of this poll without voting.

    Poll Results: Which of our Mods and Admins have the best senses of humour? (One Year Later) (56 votes.)

    * Beren (Lovesick and Lonely Wanderer) - 18% (10)

    Bollocks. Mods cannot have a sense of humour, or else they wouldn't be 'mods.' A stick up dead zombie probably laughs more than them. :p

    Oh, definitely. I do all my laughing for the whole year in advance, on January 1st, so I don't have to bother with it again till next year. Or until I ban someone. But that's the evil, muahahaha laugh.

    Oooo, Tal, what are you trying to do - influence the early voting by getting in a zinger right off the bat? :p :lol:

    BTA, Beren - the gloves appear to be off. :D

    "I think BTA is the funniest"
    "No Tal is more humorous"
    "What about Beren's obsessive Jaheira defending, that's pretty funny"

    Excerpts from yet another butt-kissing thread :p

    Hey we don't accidentely have a smiley kissing anothers smiley butt do we? I bet it would have been used a lot in this thread :rolleyes:

    Tal frequently says funny things, so my vote goes to him.

    Ah, the old quantity over quality trick eh?

    I'd say Tal has been more amusing over the past year. I haven't had too much inspiration for my sense of humor lately.

    Well, other than in the AoDA, but that's more of a wry, "I knew that was coming" kind of amusement that I keep to myself.

    No fair. To me it seems like its not really Beren's intend to be humorous. He merely does his job and is a nice, respectable person. I have seen posts of him that made me want to start to :roll: though.
    And he is probably just smart enough to know the rule: Never try to be better than the boss.

    Anyhow, Taluntain has my hands down vote. Nice style overall.
    Oh and being a German humour is an alien concept to me anyway. :rolleyes:

    Tie-breaker went in BTA's favor due to the more funny custom title.

    I'm gonna go with the inspired IotW plaque captions. They just keep getting better and better.

    Keep them coming Tal. :thumb:

    Not to say that Tal and BTA aren't hilarious, but... *shrug*

    I voted for Tal, I just got more laughs from him, with his own twisted humor.

    Tal now leads with 14 votes.

    Well, I voted for Beren. And it's not a pity vote.

    Honest. :D

    BTA gets the lifetime achievement award for his fine editing work on the peanut butter post.

    Tal has tried it.
    Beren has tried it.
    But neither managed to carry off calling anyone a Bozo like BTA does.

    Go BTA :lol:

    Actually, I used that first (I think I had to explain this in last year's thread too). ;)
